Is CHENOWITH PUD required to publish a Consumer Confidence Report?

Yes. CHENOWITH PUD is a community water system, and federal rules (40 CFR 141 Subpart O) require every community water system to publish a Consumer Confidence Report each year.

When is CHENOWITH PUD’s next Consumer Confidence Report due?

CHENOWITH PUD’s next Consumer Confidence Report is due by July 1, 2027. The report covers calendar year 2026.

What is a Consumer Confidence Report?

A Consumer Confidence Report (CCR) is the annual drinking water quality report that community water systems must provide to the people they serve. It lists the contaminants detected in the system’s water during the year, where the water comes from, and how the results compare with federal limits. EPA’s revised CCR rule takes effect January 1, 2027, and the first reports in the new format are due July 1, 2027.

CHENOWITH PUD Water System

Consumer Confidence Report status

CHENOWITH PUD must publish a Consumer Confidence Report — the annual drinking water quality report covering calendar year 2026 — by July 1, 2027.

As of August 1, 2026, EPA's federal records show no open violations for CHENOWITH PUD.

Data sourced from the EPA ECHO database (SDWA bulk download), last refreshed August 1, 2026. This is a record-keeping and public-information tool — it does not replace Oregon’s official records. Always confirm current status with Oregon before making decisions based on this information.

System facts

System ID (PWSID): OR4100867
System type: Community Water System
Population served: 4,500
Service connections: 1,501
Ownership: public/private mix
Water source: groundwater (wells)

CHENOWITH PUD is one of 63 community water systems in Oregon in the 3,301 to 10,000 people size category, serving 4,500 people from groundwater.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 69 entries between 1976 and 2022, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2022.

Of the 69, 65 are monitoring and reporting requirements — the category that accounts for about four in five of all violations in EPA's national dataset — rather than findings about the water itself. The record involves synthetic organic chemicals, volatile organic chemicals, and the Total Coliform Rules.
